Inspirational fashion illustration

I had a very cultural, if freezing cold, day last week visiting not one but three fashion-based exhibitions in London. Firstly, at somerset House, the fabulous and very influential René Gruau http://www.somersethouse.org.uk/fashion/dior/default.asp then Matthew Williamson in the same building.

Over to Shad Thames to the Design Museum for the very comprehensive and well-presented http://designmuseum.org/exhibitions/2010/2010-drawing-fashion showcasing work from Paul Poiret to the present day. I particularly liked the work of Mats Gustavson and the resurgence in printmaking in amongst all the current digital artwork.

Wall art

These are two children's vintage jigsaws hung on the wall as art. I don't think anyone was going to be too challenged by the world's easiest puzzle: only three pieces and the name as a clue!
